7:00 am
are exploring the delving into history and the present me much. i would never do that could be live. so i constantly remind myself because i grew up in a completely different way. broad pluralistic jewish in europe. the 2 part documentary starts july 5th on d, w. oh, this is d w. news and these are our top stories. needle leaders meeting in brussels have called out china as rising influence as a stomach challenge to the global order. the message is in line with us president joe biden's efforts to get allies to stand up to china as authoritarian policies. nato chief in the shult and bag says the alliance agrees that beijing's ambitious
7:01 am
and assertive behavior are concerning but stressed. nato doesn't see china as an enemy. british prime minister born johnson has announced a 4 week delay to plan to live most corona virus restrictions in england. he says caution is needed because of a surge in new cases of the highly transmissible delta variance. johnson says the delay should give time to administer millions more vaccines, and they have many lives. philippines, president rodrigo, do saturday, could soon find his war on drugs, the subject of a probe at the international criminal court. that's after the chief prosecutor requested authorization to open a full investigation. she says the detective regimes killing of more than $6000.00 suspected drug dealers could amount to crimes against humanity. essentially, w news. you can find much more on our website at d, w dot com. the
7:02 am
oh with if you ask leaders across europe, which country poses the greatest danger? many will say russia just as they have done for decades. but if you pose the same question to nato, the answer you're receive will be russia and china. today, for the 1st time in its history, nato said that it is worried about trying is growing military mind. and they those communicate issue today, china is not referred to as a threat, but it is clear when native looks at beijing's plans for the future. what it sees is without question, a threat. i'm break off and berlin. this is the day the news. but i'm not looking for conflict with russia, but then we will respond to russia continues as far productivities had,
7:03 am
we need to turn that depends on the other hand, dialogue very important. russia and china are both seeking to drive a wedge in our trans atlantic solidarity china's arrival in many issues. and china is also a partner and many other issues. and we will not fail to defend transatlantic alliance or stand up for democratic values. also coming up, israel has a new government and a new prime minister and a new foreign policy. and this is apparently very important for democrats in the united states. just listen to israel's new foreign minister. i probably can't even, republicans are important to us, but not just then as he well now we are facing a democratic white hands, a democratic senate, and a democratic congress. look at the when these democrats angry and we need to change, and we work with them to this level done with the will to our he was on p
7:04 am
b. s. in the united states, into all of you around the world. welcome. we begin the day with nato and china today for the 1st time in its history. the north atlantic treaty organization put in writing. when many of its members have been saying for years, people are worried over and aggressive china. at the end of a one day summit in brussels, native release, they communicate that without labeling china. a threat describes china as one you as president joe biden has been lobbying us allies, including native to stand up to shine as aggressive tact nato secretary general in stoughton. big said today that while the alliance does not see china as an enemy, it is concerned about beijing's ambitions and assertive behavior. this is definitely a policy when for president biden, because many of nato's european members have had a very different experience with b gene than washington has had. germany's export economy relies heavily on ties
7:05 am
with the world's 2nd largest economy. today german chancellor, uncle american chose not to focus on the complex relationships, but rather on the clear and obvious threats from china such as cyber attacks. he not see vala infuse. china is a rival in many issues. and at the same time, also a partner in many issues. we made that clear at the g 7 yesterday. i think it's really important that we offer china the chart for political discussions and to find solutions like we do with russia. but when the threats of sale there also these hybrid threat, nato has to be ready for this i, since the dominant even of not will give up and say if a more analysis now i'm joined by my con concepts from the german marshal fund of the united states, he's also the deputy director, the paris office. it's good to have you on the program. i mean, making it official that china is
7:06 am
a worry that could not have been easy for all nato members. do you agree with that? well, there's been a convergence of perception, both among policy leaders and among the populations on both sides of the atlantic for more than the china is indeed the challenge of system a challenge to europe and north america. so in that sense, the need to some, it came as a completion of the long process that led to communicate. i would say though, that if you look at the community, they are basically 2 paragraphs that deal with china. one that declares that china is the shipping competitor and other one well kind of the possibility to engage china on issues where cooperation is possible in climate change being one of them. so the community remains quite valid on the way allies can, can engage with china and the future. i mean, if you look at what's coming out,
7:07 am
especially in this communicate, does it, does it mean they're going to be tangible changes to what nato does mean? can we talk about tangible changes coming because of this? i think to communicate in they mentioned continued t to what has been said before. if you look again at the number of times, china has been mention, it's basically 2 paragraphs. rush i mention in more than a dozen paragraphs. so thinking that china has somehow replaced russia as the main threat to the alliance is full and not relevant at this point. what is very important, what happened today, the confirmation that in the coming year, nato will work on a new strategy concept at the last one dating from 2010. and so this new strategy concept will, in a way to define this tragic environment in which the alliance operates today and define the relationship i have with china. in the coming year will be when a potential changes will be made. we are heard in just the last couple of hours
7:08 am
from the us president saying that em, ukraine has to clean up its act, get rid of corruption if it wants to become a member of nato. but the u. s. president did say if it wants to become a member of nato, are you surprised by that state? again, i think we have mentioned continue to, to what we, what has been said before. the communicate re state the fact that the need to wants to welcome georgia crane as me to members one day, but that they are steps to be filled before that happens. so coming back to me to somebody to aid, i don't think this has changed fundamentally. i should say also that decision needs the consensus among allies and we don't have the conferences today, so i wouldn't read too much in what has happened over the past hour, so about ukraine's membership. do you see that there is no consensus regarding ukraine? do you see this as possibly an attempt by the ukranian president zelinski to put
7:09 am
pressure on the us president to help bring his country into native i think obviously the ukrainians are very much in favor of accelerating this, this membership process and, and knowing that there is an important meeting between the president vitamin present, putting in 2 days. now. this is also a bombing to a firm. ukraine's desire to enter the alliance, but looking again only to communicate and prism by them. a response is to to the questions during the press briefing, i think we should remain quite cautious. martin can say from the german marshal, one of the united states, joining us tonight in paris. we appreciate your time and your insights tonight. thank you. oh, i think we need more back shapes just a fraction of the world's population has been vaccinated. we need vaccines to go globally,
7:10 am
particularly in low and middle income countries. and vaccine is uniquely suited for that because the stable at refrigerated normal refrigerator temperatures. and that will help that was stanley ur, the ceo of the u. s. company novak which today reported that it's cobit 19 vaccine . clinical trials have shown a 100 percent efficacy rate and preventing moderate or severe coven. 19 of the novak thanks scene could be a game changer, but not in the united states. it's like the asters indic vaccine, only requires normal refrigeration, making transport and storage easier, especially in poor countries. unlike astrazeneca, there have been no scares with deadly side effects. for more now, i'm joined by helen clark. she is the former prime minister of new zealand and co chair of the independent panel for pandemic preparedness and response into the w. h
7:11 am
o cobit 19 response. ms. clark is good to have you on the program. you are an outspoken supporter of an equitable distribution of the corona virus vaccine for everybody on the planet. today's news from nova vax is this a step in your opinion, in the right direction? will it provide more equality if you will? well, as it is exciting and live spaces in the very bleak times with a pen demik, one of the highlights has been science are rising to the occasion to bring vaccines to us as a record speed understand low of x has yet to go through the w h o approval process, but what we're hearing is promising an end to the menu of acceptable. and the effect seems that are now on offer to help fix the world. and we get the impression that novak's is now being sold as the new astrazeneca vaccine. we know that astrazeneca the vaccine was supposed to be the work course vaccine for kovacs,
7:12 am
for getting people in poor countries vaccinated. but there are so many concerns about astrazeneca. now, do you see nova vax as being the redeemer here? as i say, it needs to go through its w h o approval processes and i wouldn't want to really compare what was your my expertise. but i think the more approach vaccines that we have, the greater chance is of reaching that target. the w h o z is now sick of having 70 percent of the world's population vaccinated by the time of the next g 7 summer fix june. you tweeted a couple of days ago that the g seven's cove in 1900 vaccine pledge was and i'm quoting here too small too slow and too narrow. why was that? that was a direct quote from us financial times a report,
7:13 am
but i think generally reception that the outcome his head is that it's been a disappointing look. it's in the right direction, releasing more doses, looking to support scale the manufacturing, but need is. now, if we look at the $70000000.00 does, which g 7 pledged the countries would supply by sometime the next year. with that that's not enough. our panel called for a 1000000000 assist to be risk redistributed by september of this year. and another 1000000000 by next year. now of course, there are other high and comes countries from the g 7. but the g 7 of the big ones, a big population get colonies. and they were, of course, they expected to stump up rather more than the $70000000.00 doses. in the year. i repeat, we need 70 percent of the global population vaccinated by mid next year. this huge concern is w. i show about the slowness of extra nation and the potential then for
7:14 am
more and more challenging variance to be coming out and undermining of the limited success of the vaccine. rollouts of your panel has also called for the establishment of a new global health threats council to be created by the un general assembly and to be led by heads of state and government. it's designed is, as i read here, it should secure political commitment to pandemic. preparedness and response, and it should also hold stakeholders to account. do you have any, any progress to report on that? the global health front council, which the panel recommended is getting favorable mentions in communication, in including in the g 7 in a recent day. so there is a lot of interest in how you bring over all accountability and political momentum to pandemic preparedness response. what our panel was really worried about was when,
7:15 am
at some point we get past the spend, then i will hold issue of preparedness or response. just go on the back burner again. this must not happen. we can expect more threats like covered night in to be coming down with trek f us, particularly with the increasing emergence of these animals to human transmission diseases. so we have to strike while we toss and put them lice, an infrastructure like such an oversight council, which will keep the momentum. now. the g 20 has a high level task force. also looking at such issues, marion monte is leading the, the commission for the european region of w h o. they also have ideas. so we're talking about now so about where ideas will converge. but bottom line, we need a global accountability making this year. you say strike while the iron is hot. the last week i was in the united states. and once you leave the airports,
7:16 am
they are in many places. it's as if there had never been a pandemic. how worried are you that the success of the vaccines will lead to their simply being less pressure on governments in the you went to prepare for the next pandemic? well, personally, i'm very worried and i think we should look at the northern hemisphere somehow with some apprehension, lawson over here hemisphere. some people when kind of crazy and holland have party and that lead to another is so serious, awful waves of, of cobra. now let's face it, in many countries on all the industry. we know when the most countries having 2 doses of a vaccine. so this creates opportunities for these more transmissible. they're like the delta, they're just in to be 67 percent more transmissible than, than the the bear the wind before that this is not mr. narrative and this is what w i chose stress,
7:17 am
we need more vaccine roll help. now we can't live for next year. the time is now to try and risk this, otherwise we're going to be living with appendix phase of this disease. for far too long and a great cost to human life and health. health, clark, former prime minister of new zealand, and co chair of the independent panel for condemning preparedness and response to the w h. as cobra, 1900 response is clark. it was an honor to have you on the show. we appreciate your time and your insights tonight. thank you. the it was day one on the job for israel's new coalition government today. after winning sundays, razors invoked l long time prime minister benjamin netanyahu, his replacement ultra nationalist of probably been now leads a fragile alliance of a parties. and he's promising a fresh start for whom you may ask. we'll try the democrats in the united states.
7:18 am
we have this report, the faces of israel's new governmental, incoming prime minister, natalie bennett, and his coalition assembled after on seats in the veteran benjamin netanyahu. us president joe biden cold prime minister bennett on sunday to wish him well. israel wants to refresh the relationship following the recent change of administration in washington. i probably, you know, there is now a democratic white house senate and house and those democrats angry. we need to change the way we work with them because last night i spoke with secretary of state antony blink. and we both got even possible and imperative to build relations based on a mutual respect and better dialogue. they've all got calls to germany, france and the e u. the new bennett, lead government, still facing the old tensions with the palestinians who welcome netanyahu's departure, but see the new israeli leadership as hardly different nor atlanta. we don't
7:19 am
consider the new government to be any better than its predecessors when we condemn the announcement by the new prime minister miss tally bennett, of support for settlement activity. and we reiterate that our people will continue to confront those settlement attempts that were made by his predecessor and let the model to her self. i love you, the predecessor did not immediately take in some implications, to change. after 12 years at the helm, benjamin netanyahu needed to be reminded that the prime minister seat was no longer his show, but he's already plotting his return to power. isn't because we have a very strong opposition, unlike any other in the past. around $53.00 can mess that members may be more in certain situations, united and determined to bring down business dangerous, less weight and fraudulent government, which will fall quickly after voting in 4 inconclusive elections. and under 2 years,
7:20 am
israelis are divided over the new government. and now i believe in this government, and i know it was formed from serious motive to make a change here. and it will be here for a long time. is brand new mommy? nancy taylor a little while because this will be meeting with me. he'd be tell jim had to say that there's nothing new under the sun that they're all corrupt on both sides. if they prove otherwise, i'll believe them any, but they all did the same trick as netanyahu. i know i saw somebody leave israel. political climate remains shaky. a huge challenge for the new administration from the get go. well my next guess is we'll place to talk about the historic change of government in israel. he's the author of the book, jews, and palestinians in the late autumn and era, 98914 claiming the homeland. i'm happy to welcome to the day professor lewis fishman historian and author. he joins us tonight from new york city professor.
7:21 am
it's good to have you on the program. i'd like to start where you are the united states and the democrats. what do you make of this promise, israeli charm offensive targeting democrats? well, i think, i think 1st of all, i think what's most important about this new government is they're not gonna be reaching out to democrat. they've been reaching out to the overwhelming amount of american jews who vote for democrats. i think this is going to be a lining once again, the democrat party with, with the large amount of jews that actually vote for them over the last 4 years before you are doing the truck and nothing. you know, sort of the very lim, community of republicans and evangelicals. much to the dismay up into the community . so i think they're working on repairing relations, not just with washington, but also with the american jewish community, including the reform community. that is the largest community that exist today in
7:22 am
united states. so i think that they're going to have their challenges, but they're coming with a really open mind. they're coming to listen and not to dictate. and i think that's an important change. now on the iran is not going to be a major at different years. the incoming part minister has already expressed disappointment with the former erotic agreement with us there on agreement. but once again, i stress that they are coming to listen and not like nothing. you know, who was used to dictating policy. much the dismay had many democrats. well, i mean we were looking at is really foreign policy, but the united states, are we talking about the antidote for the netanyahu effect, or is this the answer to i'm for the trump effect? well, i actually think the 2 go together. that's the way it's not been, you know, i've been able to maneuver between the different leaders, but no democratic leader has been happy with nothing. you know,
7:23 am
they've been with them. but they did not have a common language, i would say. and now for the 1st time, certainly don't want to be in going to find, i think, a very warm welcome here in the united states is not by chance that they receive calls from, from, from, by the, from lincoln yesterday. so i do think that there is going to be a welcome change in the united states, seeing the new government and once again knowing that yeah, they're a bit younger my experience, i have to say that nothing is on the same token that might find a really nice, welcoming carpet here for them in the united states as well. and considering what has happened in the last few weeks as well as the last few years. and i'm talking about what's happened between israel and hamas. one could expect a new israeli government to say publicly, we want to improve relations with the palestinian but that's not what we're hearing
7:24 am
. so what does that tell you? you know, i think we have to give this government, you know, a 100 days of grace period. there's no doubt the for the overwhelming majority and constantly and not much is going to change the ground in the next few months. but i think with every passing day that the government succeeds in creating some stability, that too is going that door is going to be open. we know now how they've been in the far right. we're not expect you much change, but certainly that, that slide, the slide to authoritarianism that nothing y'all is bringing the country was one very detrimental to the future. the country itself. i think israeli and even town didn't need to understand that it might take a few years. i would imagine that if you month to year getting back on track. if this government last more than a year, it's hard to say it might. we will month to month. what do you think? what really know if there's any military confrontation being that this is in
7:25 am
storage government that also has rep representation, the balancing incentives in the state, their 20 percent, that they there is now in the wrong party in the government. so we're going to have to wait and see, but i do think there is a reason to believe that they are serious in making it work. and that happen. they can be the magic change over the next 6 months to 6 months. a year i would say, well, we're going to be a better transformation of what's happening on the ground. also for kind of that by no means doesn't mean that there's going to in the occupation or anything like that . but i think is ways are coming to the conclusion that this, you know, what, nothing, you know, brought to nothing, you know, rather years of peace and quiet, give them a group rate may didn't lose it as if the, as if the conflict disappeared, there was no conflict,
7:26 am
but for the jews there was a low maintenance conflict for the palestinians, that remainder high maintenance conflict. and we saw what happened last month. and that was really it really with the eye opener to raise the conflict. it's still there and they do need to go back the negotiation. no doubt about this new government is led by a manage you say, who is more to the right, the net in yahoo. is that a true reflection of the israeli people? well i think the overall, let's face it, if not been you know, i had step down there could have been a right wing government of 70 so that the reality is that the israeli right has been strengthened under not been you know, but not been, you know, was great at doing one thing, didn't mind being the left and the internet. and i really think that if the government 16th people like we see the labor party,
7:27 am
the merits party and all the palestinians in the state, they are also gaining legitimacy. the government. so we're going to have to see it actually might this government lead ironically, lead by the far right now was, might give the less time to reorganize and to build their base again. ok, the efficient historian and author joining us tonight from new york city. mr. fisher, we appreciate your time and your insights tonight. thank you. thank you. of the day is always done. the conversation continues online. you'll find us on twitter w news. you can call me at brent golf t v. and remember, whatever happens between now and then, tomorrow is another day. we'll see you then the news, the news

7:31 am
live with for communities living close to them. this is the book and of course on today's show, let's with the people most impacted by increasing hunger for natural resources. hello, welcome to eco india. i'm funneled that i could let starting the coal mines of central india. a majority of the countries still jets its electricity from the cold burned from mines like these wild policy makers and activities suck. got in a deadlock. over the developer was us involvement protection debate. communities who live close to these mines, having to face some devastating consequences of report or travel to their villages to find out more of the the go see anything except lines all the way up to the eisen
7:32 am
so i'm, you and india were due towards the electricity still calling from call, which is considered the cheapest fuel. i want to find out it's to cost me goldberg district and central india is a major power hub. and home to some of the biggest mines on the planet me. every other face will cover because it just so i just like if we did it all over my face, i spent a lot of days reading about cool and coal mining in this country. but seeing the mines on both sides a little, all the way to horizon is a scale that you've gone comprehend. unless you hear me. india is the 2nd largest producer and consumer of call in the world of china. and the demand for energy is rising faster than anywhere else. unlike in the us,
7:33 am
the u. k. when natural gas was found, india currently has no large scale replacements, call yet, with its abundant reserves and no major alternative calls remains the cheapest and easiest source of energy. and so extra action continues. in june 2020, the prime minister announced $41.00 new blog spending around 470 square kilometers of land would be open for mining. and in february 2021, the number stood at 75. but burning call it already driving emissions dramatically up worldwide. and the pollution from the toxic smoke is not responsible for one in 5 debts globally. arguably, the most dire impacts of coal mining are local. i went to meet communities that live around mines like this to understand the impact of call on their lives, on a way to sort of, oh, it's not,
7:34 am
it's not even open. and the fact that this is one among tens of thousands of villages that lie within india, mining belts around do cause of the reasons inhabitants are tribal or indigenous can they village is literally sitting on a mine that is hollowed out the ground beneath it. the 31 indigenous families, he'll live with the consequences of the extreme proximity to a coal mine every day. my mother is a member of the tribe called the bundle i was born in this forest. she wants to show me what is now happened to this source. of fresh water it's completely black full of pool and i, she the how this goes directly to our field and our crops don't grow. nothing does its huge problem. it just settled there just like it has here. several tahoe is
7:35 am
number 2. among the stream here is toxic. pick with the ash that means after the extracted call is washed, as well as with remnants of dynamite that was used to glass the ground. the coal mining company was asked to provide fresh pipe water instead, but that is still due to a lot that even any moves can't drink. how can we go up? what happens if you drink it? more than everything hurts we get headaches and fevers for this water pole bonding . while we were talking things, getting heated up on the other side of the village because wayne and company has seen people with this and of course, the time the communities come today. and so it seems like getting
7:36 am
made an agreement with us, but she doesn't do anything from what they want to explain is that this is the kind of water haven't taken for this boys filling a bottle of water to send back with these. they're presented to their bosses so they can visually see the kind of water that comes here and these people are the. so we went to the mine next door to give them a chance to just go on to allegations of pollution. and here this side of the story, we had permission to film in the underground mind, weeks before we went. but when we got the data, you speak to us all at austin city. disappointing. when i load and help me goal rich central india is home to some of the most bio diverse forests on the planet. so aside from local water and soil pollution extracting which is
7:37 am
considered to be in national interest also means disjoint, large tracts of old growth forests. even going to government estimates 164000 heck as a forest land have been lost to mining. since the 900 fifties, millions of indigenous people live in these forests, the russia and other natural resources is displacing communities here when an unprecedented scale. and this has remained largely under reported. i saw the story play out in every village. i visited him some from the gaunt community had already been displeased from the ancestral lands. some from the tunnel community were about to be displeased, and others believe that they would come at some point. me shudder. huh. is it known? independent land rights activist who works to improve legal and institutional support for communities,
7:38 am
which at the risk of using the land to mining we sat down for a chat about why the country is still investing in coal mining. the reason why the number for my interest actually increased in an alarming rate of past few years, because there's a mess you open edition, but it's a metro demand for the butler. but that's not an excuse. because again, i would see that that, that depends on alert of our consumption pattern of a whole, consumerism. so if you are not really ready to listen, the people who are actually suffered the people who are the victims, the people who are actually sacrificed for your protection. for, for getting 204270. like to sit in the big cities. we cannot say that some religious have to be live in the dock. so this morning i was going to listen all those people. we contacted the cool ministry to address the allegations of the people we met in goodbye. but they did not give us
7:39 am
a date to be interviewed in the weeks before the publication of this piece. while we were still in the region, the community with the polluted water received some news, they wanted to share the community had, can they have invited us for dinner tonight? the news the celebrated welcome. the extended to us as visitor was stopped contrast to the news, the village had john site wanted to share. this area has just been surveyed and they have been notified that it will become an open cost mine, which means that any day now this community will be evicted from the forest logs in
7:40 am
the fall. this is my motherland where i was born. did what? one. so green, i remembered the lippard, enough birds snake, i thought we were so happy then some of the 31 families here, 7, do not have entitlement deeds to prove. they belong to. the government is responsible for rehabilitating those with papers. why? mining has displaced people around the world from germany to the bubbling. the history of rehabilitation in india is especially poor. since 951 over 2500000 people have been displaced by mine and less than a quarter where we have the up. it's gotta go get the little do some gentlemen. all the government is asking us to leave this. where we go. we have logged on this land to make it for dial and sustain us. we don't want to be enemies, like we only want to save this land market. i'm not happy love
7:41 am
a tele gone up where i live in the morning. they lead me into the forest to show me why they are adamant about not leaving this place. the bundle is used tools including bulls and arrows, to collect fruits from the florida. the main source of nutrition is a kind of hubert, the dig out of the ground. they are largely assess sustaining community living off the forest. thank you. we are driving through the cold belt, we saw defunct minds everywhere were extraction once boomed, but know nothing remains but blots on the landscape. was completely bad. and they usually do villages that were here before the mind came and set up about 22 years ago. and the villages have gone and the mind has shut down and there's
7:42 am
nothing left, you know, people for this new call. mine's normally have a lifespan of only a few decades. as the deeper you go, the less economically becomes to operate them. so new ones open, 100 silently shut down across the country. this entire land behind me would have once been expensive for this full of biodiversity and home to a number of indigenous communities. when you factor in the social and environmental cost cause doesn't seem so cheap anymore. this is the question we need to ask ourselves, moving forward, how do we balance growth and the need for development with the help and rights of local communities and the environment. growth in the west was largely powered by fossil fuels. what does he want to avoid?
7:43 am
the most dial impacts of climate change? it's essential for the communities we just saw. and for the climate as a whole, that be fine, scalable was terminated too quickly. although next story of reporter, contextual life of the history, of course, and how it's likely to affect our future. the story of cold begins 250 years ago when partition meant has realized you could heat water with cold make steam spin turbines and power machines actually let 31300000000 years before the steam engine to carbon rich plants died in swamps. millions of years of heat and pressure, turn these puzzles into rocks packed with energy and back in the modern world. that energy was solely needed. the industrial revolution created machines, lots of lead to a global proven prosperity, but unprecedented in human history. government built railways that linked coal mines to cities that helped them feed back treatment homes that were hungry for

coal. there were little to no alternatives. therefore it was very rational if it's very understandable and it was not that controversial. this is how you even n g expert who studies have countries that have invested in co can we've to clean the source of energy for europe. we can definitely see that that has been very good side of coal. through the 20th century, economic prosperity came across the continent as well as piece that went on with the european union. but the prosperity co brings comes at the price. for more than half a century, scientists burning fossil fuel to release a carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and heat the planet. it's already won't buy more than one degrees celsius and it's on track for catastrophic 3 degrees by the end of the century. and cold is behind 40 percent of the c o. 2 that comes from burning fuels. but the climate change isn't even the only problem does kills more
7:45 am
than 7000000 people burning co release of pollutants that get into your lungs and spread through your bloodstream. even reaching your brain in the 1800s, dr. the ready knew that call this back to you might have got sick from breathing in the depths of blankets, but that crept into homes and made a family's cough. but covenants had tied their economy to coal and they weren't willing to give it up. mining and burning cold damage of the climate of people's health. and that's why the un, it's called a kid coal out of electricity by 2030 and rich countries. and by 2040 for the rest of the world, we need renewable energy and green jobs. no more fossil fuel subsidies or new coal fired power plants. so how's that coming along? well, the global cold emissions have basically platter in south america and africa code has been used in the 1st place in the us in europe. cars have been declining for decades, but across asia code just keeps on growing me
7:46 am
last year, china and india, but more than 2 thirds of all the cold that the world. but the rest of the continent use is more cold and you and us put together. and the problem is that even just the coldest spending today, the new mindset, opening and pow thompson building are designed to run for decades. now, some southeast asian countries cancel plans to build coal times last year. but india, for instance, wants to invest $55000000000.00 in coal in the next decade. and he spent several times on renewables to meet the targets. and then the china burns half the world's cold, but have pledged slash carbon emissions to net 0 by 2061 report by 2 environmental research groups last november found out about that to me. it's climate goes. china must buy new coal power plants and double the electricity made from wind. and so
7:47 am
let me not to prepare a fully prepared to achieve that. this is she way, john, lead author of the report. he said that cold times built today will become stranded assets, better unprofitable, to keep running the most important. essentially we needed to, to, to stop the build up for new assets, new 1st for and so as possible. the industry disagrees with the world, may not light call, but the world needs cole. this is a speech by the parts of the world cold association in september 2020. but this is what about being all popular. it's about being realistic. the industry argues that it can make cold clean by sucking c or 2 out of power plants and storing it in the ground. but the technology, it's banking on is expensive and it doesn't exist. the wells can cut for about 40
7:48 am
mega tons of c o 2 from industrial sites, and you'll carbon emissions are hundreds of times bigger. so how can country code can china and india learn from the west mistakes? let's look at the u. s. codes have been declining there for decades except cheap alternative like oil and gas. now, wind turbines and solar panels are making it full even fast. $36.00 cold times last year and it's cut its capacity by 25 percent in the last decade. the politicians kept telling coworkers, but the future was safe. ah, you get another job. you won't mind anymore. do you like that idea? they should know. we don't like that i do. we love to my that's what we want to do . i said if that's what you want to do, that's what you're going to do. trumps moved on, but he wasn't alone because call, i think right now is the rule i scientists have
7:49 am
a problem. governments need to quit cold to keep us safe. but they also need to protect the livelihood, the community, to live from it. that's what you needed. close that final hard coal mine in 2018 up to 60 years of steady decline, and did say without firing a single minor the government retrained younger miners and paid out older ones. he wanted to retire early, but scientists say the energy transition needs to fast and fast. jimmy dragged out his transition over decades and even last year was still building plans to buy more coal research of the technical university of berlin. in 2019 found that a quick phase would have cost less and less mining communities adapt better. the cleaning on for too long with an old dying industry has a tendency not to support new alternative industries because these are being seen as a kind of competition that might speed up the process. so what can coal hungry countries
7:50 am
like india, when more than 700000 people work as miners take away from this? well, politicians should be honest with voted that cold air is over and set a clear end date. then they could stop subsidizing cold companies and put the money to retraining work as a new, sustainable industries for them and their families lot figuring out a plan b is indeed the was thing we can do at this moment. a local radio station in our current is already helping with this. the state of pro, to catastrophic flooding and forest fires, coma one of the sound of miles radio station connecting communities to discuss and tackled the most difficult and wide mental problems in the region. a report of visited them to find out more rocky mountains and remote villages abound in the indian state. off with that i can't for the residence here, c, v and internet connection is practically nonexistent.

oh, a few years ago. come on, one me, a community run, reduce station in the hills of smoke, they sure decided to do something about it. ready to go back to the station manager moulins in courtesy and his theme produce up, graham that's broadcast to around 500 villages. last year. the radio is other platform. if there are problems within our communities, we try to find solutions within the same model. when someone shares the problem, the thing on our program, then we can find solutions as well. if lucas don't phone in with suggestions, then we speak to experts who help listeners with fusions and advice, and hunger thought that we give about this. and advice is in high demand, especially when it comes to farming. agriculture is the primary source of income for the 350000 residents in this region. but the state is becoming increasingly

a wasteful public policy decision in an already geologically sensitive area will be farmers using on the team is another big problem or you can if you have any local farmers, especially those when gauge in step farming and who use canal android systems to divert the flow of water to their fees are feeling the impact of these shortages. the total land, 80, and indicated to agriculture is reportedly shrinking as well. from i want to use edge theme. good. i also was as a farmer, witness the devastating effects of waters scarcity. first hand plug a big whoops, album, impact the nature machine in our field and god was part. i have 3, have been completely destroyed a but i think you will learn to write these that. but they're too expensive for farmers with small products, of course, to sell off pieces of the land as
7:54 am
a last resort, or they're selling one or 2. now, some people have even started selling off all of the land, sort of what you can buy me cushion thing, but golly, also tunes in tomorrow. i need the farmer recently loan from the radio station that a solution made out of lime and water, which local calls tuna can actually help protect his apple trees from getting infected with bacterial diseases known as apple blisters. why never got up there when we would have trouble with our trees, we would have to travel to know that almost 100 kilometers. now we get information from my radio station and we use that for our benefit. who else would have told us how to fix it? new or fortunately, i got information from the radio and was able to revive my plans,
7:55 am
my sales guy. he thought he got there after adding a program about the impact of excessive pesticide and insecticide use that your team noticed changes in local farming practices who he showed today. people use minimal amounts of chemicals in the prompts to go. and if you visit the field today, you will see that many problem with understand the harmful side effects of the chemical intersect. the site will follow to get a big challenge for the radio is funding grassroots issues don't attract, commotion advertises, nevertheless. the managed to get some public funding and support from india to come by these challenges. the non profit radio station has not only helped reduce environmental problems, it's also had a huge impact on the life and work of hundreds of villagers in the middle district . with the following the bus, you can, the people, our communities and communities make the planet we live on. i hope that it shall
